Inuit Black Widow of the 1920s - Canada

EXCERPT: In another telling story, Grace
O’Kelly described an Inuit woman being held at the police barracks with a male
and female accomplice who had aided her in strangling two previous husbands.
She was an old woman, remarked Mrs O’Kelly, who had eluded capture by making
doglike tracks in the snow. Mrs Kelly was impressed by this clever manoeuvre,
and intrigued by the third husband who “seemed mot devoted and could be found
sitting in their tent with his arm around his lady love, or holding her hand as
he walked.” It is not clear if the Inuit woman murdered her first two husbands
so she could marry the third, although it is apparent that Mrs O’Kelly believed
that to be the case and that she was more envious than damning of the woman.
She also noted that this behavior was the only form of lovemaking she had
“witnessed among the stolid, and apparently unresponsive natives of these
coasts.”

Note: Ms. Kelcy refers to the question of
whether the suspect “murdered her first two husbands so she could marry the
third.” This phrasing implies that somehow the murder of no. 1 would be
connected to her aim to marry no. 3, yet there is no explanation of this peculiar
set of circumstances. The answer to the conundrum will likely be found in the
original 1924 source, not a present accessible to us.
